history

Today's Church of the Resurrection was built in 1736/37 according to plans by the city master builder C. Cöster as a replacement for the so-called Church of the Dead as a chapel for the cemetery at Barfüßertor, which is located immediately south of the church. This cemetery, which was laid out as relief for the churchyard of the Lutheran parish church of St. Mary , was used until 1865.

After the old Lutheran congregation celebrated church services in a private house in a prayer room for a long time and had hospitality in the St. Michael's Chapel, the decrepit old cemetery chapel, which had last served as a gym, was acquired in 1956 and consecrated as the Resurrection Church a year later. In 1974 an organ was purchased. In 2008 the community bought the half-timbered house immediately to the east of the church and has been calling it Adam Krafft parish hall since then .
